Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignancy that is prevalent among populations from Southeast Asia. Epidemiological studies indicate that genetic predisposition, Epstein-Barr virus, and environmental conditions may play a role in determining incidence. Molecular studies have implicated a tumor suppressor gene(s) on the short arm of chromosome 3. In this study we provide functional evidence, via monochromosome transfer, for a tumor suppressor gene(s) activity in chromosome 3p21.3.
鼻咽癌是一种在东南亚人群中普遍存在的恶性肿瘤。流行病学研究表明，遗传易感性、爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒和环境因素可能在决定发病率方面发挥作用。分子研究表明3号染色体短臂上存在一个抑癌基因。在本研究中，我们通过单染色体转移为3p21.3染色体上的抑癌基因活性提供了功能证据。
